Louis Robert Smith was the only son of Joseph
and Ida Smith. Margaret Cook remembered him as "Uncle Lou"
- she was only nine years old when he died. The proximity of his
death to that of his Father must have had a great impact on the
Smith Family - in more ways than one. As far as our research can
tell, he was the last of the "Smith line" - there were
no other males to pass on the family name.
